They had cardboard to hide in, but those little suckers died (not all, just a few out of 20). But, they were kept as I read about. Your idea sounds alot better! A tall wastebasket. If I thought mine wanted better food like tacos or spagetti, I would offer that LOL. But, most of them must have liked the food. I bought wax worms at the store, got home, they were all dead. Went back and exchanged them and when I bought them I asked if they were fresh (had no date) and was told they were. I should have known the young guy working may not know to check them? Now when I buy any worms, I open like 5 containers first. But, the frogs are cute friends!
that doesnt surprise me about the worms... going to be heading into one of my local petsmarts over the weekend to see what else they have available. i always check the containers and make them get my crickets out of the large bin, with it being so hot out here every now and then all the crickets in the premade packages die, before purchased. i dont know if you shop at petsmart, but if you sign up online. they email me coupons for free crickets or discounts on worms like every two weeks! just an idea
